Dos and Don\u2019ts of Selecting Bathroom Tiles <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Dos
Here are some dos and don’ts of selecting bathroom tiles<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Picking the right tiles for your washroom more to do than just the colour and pattern. You have to be well aware of the basics to make a decision that\u2019s aesthetically pleasing and practical. Tiles have the ability to add a touch of luxury to even the most basic of bathrooms. You might already know that bathroom tiles are available in several materials that are both practical and affordable. Whether you go for ceramic or glass, there are certain dos and don\u2019ts of selecting bathroom tiles for your home in Pakistan that you should be aware of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, here are some of the tips for selecting the best bathroom tiles to further clarify our point: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do: Go for Simplicity <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The base of your washroom is something that can give it a unique character and add elegance to it. Tiles speak volumes and aren\u2019t certainly cheap enough for you to replace every now and then. The best trick for selecting the best bathroom tiles is to opt for simple designs with simple textures, something that is timeless and suits well with the current theme of the house. When in doubt, opt for white subway tiles without any second thoughts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t: Opt for Complex Designs <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned earlier, tiles aren’t inexpensive to reinstall and can’t be changed every now and then. It is alright to go overboard and flaunt the extravagant features of your house, but you shouldn’t risk it with something that requires a lot of money and energy to be replaced. Decorative or busy designs such as borders, inlays, busy mosaics, and accent tiles are also a big no if you want your washroom to look timeless. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do: Use Coordinating Colours <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you are renovating your bathroom on your own without any professional help, it might get a little trickier to coordinate the colours of the floor and walls. Not to mention, the bathroom\u2019s theme should also sit well with the rest of the house. So, when you are shopping for bathroom tiles, invest some time in due diligence. Also, take a rough sketch of the bathroom with you, have some pictures [of the base of your house] with yourself, and ask a friend to join in for a second opinion. Pick up coordinating colours that highlight other features of your bathroom rather than overshadowing them. If you are still in doubt, you can list the help of the top interior designers in Pakistan<\/a> and leave your worries to the professionals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t: Expect for it to Work <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Washroom tiles require more maintenance than other portions of your house, and the situation gets worse if it\u2019s a common washroom. Therefore, you should be extremely picky about the designs, texture, quality, and colour. Do not just buy anything that looks good and expect it to work later. Tiles can last a decade if they are chosen with due consideration and care. Make sure that the quality of the tile fuses with your current home d\u00e9cor and colour theme rather than conflicting with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do: Consider Texture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest constraints of choosing the best washroom tiles is the texture. First things first; washroom tiles should be textured to make them slip-proof and non-porous. Besides, washrooms are among high traffic areas of your house that stay engaged throughout the day \u2013 especially if you have kids. Refined or gloss tiles show every tiny bit of scratches and increase the chances of accidents. As such, matte tiles are a better option when it comes to bathrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t: Install Polished Tiles <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This one is self-explanatory and does not need much explaining. Your bathroom\u2019s floor is prone to moisture and gets wet very often. Not to mention, the chances of falling in a bathroom are higher than any other place in your house. Polished or glossed tiles are much more slippery when they meet water \u2013 soap water especially. In such cases, textured tiles or matte tiles are your best bet. So, avoid installing polished tiles in your shower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most Suitable Types of Tiles for Your Bathroom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just like the kitchen of your house, your bathroom also needs to have dissimilar types of tiles for floors and walls. It is mainly for avoiding accidental slips and increased practicality. In addition to the safety factor, the tiles in the bathroom of your house should be easy to clean, and their maintenance shouldn’t have to break your back either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just for your convenience, we have put together a small list of the best types of bathroom tiles for your home in Pakistan that are both slip-proof and durable: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
